Religion

I am greatly concerned for our nation, our communities and our way of life. In today’s world, there is a tremendous lack of direction, a lack of truth and Godly respect.

This all can be traced back to when our nation began to wander from the truth, direction and respect from God’s word. Today we live in a society that puts little to no value on the word of God. On top of that, many today believe that it’s just a book that’s out-of-date, irrelevant to today’s culture, or just a book full of ancient stories.

During the season after Easter, we read a lot of amazing stories about the appearance of Jesus to the disciples and others. The appearance of the Risen Lord made the disciples courageous fishers of men. Our challenge during this Easter season is to have the same experience of Easter joy that the disciples had. How do we prepare for this?

Life is full of important questions. What career will I choose? Where will I live? Who will I marry? Will I have children? Will I be a contributing member of society? As our days on earth are numbered, these questions certainly need serious consideration.

As we are living in the days that we celebrate, remember and think about Calvary, the death, burial and resurrection of Christ Jesus, a true event that took place more than 2,000 years ago that still has an impact on all lives who receive Him, and also will someday impact those who don’t receive Him.
